Exactly where to meet your private hire driver at every major UK airport — terminal by terminal. Covers Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Luton, London City, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Liverpool.
Meet-and-greet — driver waits inside the arrivals hall with a name board (typical £15–£25 add-on). Standard pickup — driver waits in the short-stay or mid-stay car park; you're texted the bay number once landed. No parking fee is passed on.
